Or put a big ass pile of sand on top of some paving slabs and make it a round shape and put the clay on that. Then when it's dry, you can remove the sand, light a fire in there and cure the clay.

Or something like that.

Sorry, I was thinking you wanted a bread oven.

Yes I do. Did you make a lid for it too?

So I could buy some clay and my makeshift rotating donner kebab device could double as a potter's wheel on which I could turn the pot. Perfect.

Apologies for being flipant.

We bought clay from an arts and craft store and used that. Seems perfect.

Just because its been fired doesn't mean its heat proof. That's why some crockery is labelled oven proof and other stuff isn't.

What, Clay that's been in a kiln at about 400 degrees?

You've never been to one of Pach's barbecues. They're hot stuff

[Old Hack]

This clay pot, can't imagine a plant pot is particularly heat proof.

What sort of pot am I after?

What sort of pot have I been smoking?

FTFY

[pacharan]

You want to use clay.

We made one, similar to the one that Hugh fernly chuntington (whatever) made, and it works an absolute treat. Buy his bread book too, and it explains what to do.

Yo Pach,

you need one of those huge clay plant pot things, you just make a small fire in the bottom
and hang the bread on the inside with wire

seen it done

tastes great

do the marinated shish dawks from the Weber grilling book would be great with that bread

Worst. Thread. Ever.

[pacharan]

Yo Milan,

I shall duly procure your recommended publication from Amazon forthwith.

[milanbenes]

Yo Pach,

it's all in here...

Weber's Way to Grill: The Step-By-Step Guide to Expert Grilling Sunset Books: Amazon.co.uk: Jamie Purviance, Weber Grills: Books

that's all you need

Milan.

Yo Milan,

My man

What I have in mind is chicken Shawarmas with Arabic bread!

I found an article a while back that describes how to make a homemade doner kebab. I'd obviously substitute the lamb for chicken.

Got a mate coming over from Magaluf in a few weeks time with his Arab wife.

Hope to be able to make her at home with my rotating column of meat ;-)

I picture Pacharan as a prominent member of his local rotary club, discussing barbeques and golf, and swapping gardening tips with all the oher old buffers over their G & Ts.

Well he's a prominent member anyway.
